  Thanks for the suggestion about the support hose.  My right foot and my stomach swell. What helps bloating of the stomach?  I have cut my Lyrica down to 2x (75mg) from 3x a day, but it hasn't helped the swelling any.  My legs still burn a little, but today I got sunburned and they are on

Does anyone, other than me, find it very scary to think of somebody who finds that they no longer have feeling in their legs and feet but decides to drive themselves to the emergency hospital?? I myself was paralyzed waist to toes on both sides, so it wouldn't have even been possible for me

It is the right foot that swells, the right arm and hip are larger, and the right side of my face is larger than the left side.  It's so strange.  I would have trouble pulling up the hose since my hands and arms are so weak and I can't move my fingers.  My caregiver could do it though.
